Jack Shepherd was sentenced at Isleworth Crown Court after previously admitting the violent assault.
The sentencing of Jack Shepherd, who was found guilty of a violent assault on his ex-partner while operating a speedboat, brings closure to a high-profile case that has garnered significant attention. The fact that Shepherd previously admitted to the crime likely played a role in the court's decision to hand down a prison sentence.
